Eric Dumazet reported that hardware PMU events do not work on his system, due to the BIOS corrupting PMU state: Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Broken BIOS detected, using software events only. [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c) Linus suggested that we continue in the face of such BIOS-induced CPU state corruption: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/608 Such BIOSes will have to be fixed - Linux developers rely on a working and fully capable PMU and the BIOS interfering with the CPU's PMU state is simply not acceptable. So this patch changes perf to continue when it detects such BIOS interaction, some hardware events may be unreliable due to the BIOS writing and re-writing them - there's not much the kernel can do about that but to detect the corruption and report it.

The read of a proper MSR register was missed and instead of counter the configration register was tested (it has ARCH_P4_UNFLAGGED_BIT always cleared) leading to unknown NMI hitting the system. As result the user may obtain "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" message. Fix it by reading a proper MSR register. When an NMI happens on a P4, the perf nmi handler checks the configuration register to see if the overflow bit is set or not before taking appropriate action. Unfortunately, various P4 machines had a broken overflow bit, so a backup mechanism was implemented. This mechanism checked to see if the counter rolled over or not. A previous commit that implemented this backup mechanism was broken. Instead of reading the counter register, it used the configuration register to determine if the counter rolled over or not. Reading that bit would give incorrect results. This would lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages for the end user when using the perf tool (or if the nmi watchdog is running). The fix is to read the counter register before determining if the counter rolled over or not.

crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().

由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for this purpose instead. Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that, because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users in mind. For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow, reader 1 reader 2 1 2 3 4 -1 -1 where -1 signals there is no more record ID. Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any record even they are not cleared by anyone. This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple users. To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID available.

It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2). A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=127970513829285&w=2Signed-off-by: NSage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and tries to clean from _brk_end to _end. It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently does not. Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there. This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so we can do everything in one step. Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

The following patch solves the problems introduced by Robert's commit 41bf4989 and reported by Arun Sharma. This commit gets rid of the base + index notation for reading and writing PMU msrs. The problem is that for fixed counters, the new calculation for the base did not take into account the fixed counter indexes, thus all fixed counters were read/written from fixed counter 0. Although all fixed counters share the same config MSR, they each have their own counter register.

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in commit db954b58. This feature allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else (e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep C-states. AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core before the new instruction is made visible. Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost. This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts are reenabled. Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp) and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code modification, it falls into the XMC errata. Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a serializing instruction) anyway? A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init() is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with ACPI. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

The caller of ioapic_register_intr() has a pointer to the irq_cfg for the irq already. Hand it in to avoid a full lookup. In msi_compose_msg() the pointer to irq_cfg is already available. No need to look it up again. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Use the functions which take irq_data. We already have a pointer to irq_data. That avoids a sparse irq lookup in move_*_irq. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol. [ mingo: This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs). Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8: 3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END() debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the ENTRY() and the END(): ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) ... END(do_hypervisor_callback) Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils never even warned about it either. This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels since v2.6.27, out of the blue. This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred thousand historic commits. (!) This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ] Signed-off-by: NAlexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: H.J.
